Title: oil suitable for tte turbo
Post by: wotugonado on September 26, 2014, 21:12
im about to take advantage of opie oils discount, but cant work out which oil i need.

Ive Read some say 10w/60 and others say this is too thick, anybody running a tte turbo or run one in the past that can
offer advise, also sparkplugs whilst im thinking about it, any recommendations for those too ?

I don't run a turbo but I can't fault Titan race pro s

5w40 considering the temps you will run with a turbo.

Ask oilman (opie) they are always happy to suggest and help

My rule is only buy it when on offer. Oil, filter and sump washer for under £50 is a bargain

Mate a tank full of fuel costs almost as much.
How many times do you need to fill up with oil compared to super unleaded?

Go with what the others say,

The 10/60 only good if you going to heat the oil to about 150c
